R A I N processes media at any resolution in real time while displaying results immediately. Client's requests are delivered instantly on screen, upon the colorist's command. R A I N provides direct feedback without wasting time for rendering.
Working and final approval can be combined in the same session. The media can be delivered to the client in data or tape format. With features dedicated to help fast decision making, such as per shot versioning, full screen client-oriented clip, intelligent grade library, audio support and more, all accessible through the control panel, R A I N eases the finishing process and delivers expected results.
R A I N's useful conforming & editing tools allow to immediately replace sequences or clips, or to modify a scene cut without going back to an editing station. The new composition can then be exported in EDL or ALE log format for further editorial processing.
R A I N has a unique interface designed to make the operator instantly comfortable, efficient and professional in a client attended session.
Browsing clips in the Library, switching to the TimeLine, adding demanding secondary corrections or animated grades, all with the ease of a virtuoso playing piano.
Solid logic combined with a sleek, minimalistic GUI design greatly improve R A I N's learning curve.
R A I N supports files with embedded audio tracks and audio clips such as Wave and AIFF files.
Multiple audio layers, available in the Timeline, allow complex sound compositions. The monitoring can be done through the system's sound card, as well as from the SDI signal.
R A I N is also able to embed up to 16 channels of AES/EBU 24-bit 48 kHz audio into the outputted SDI signal.
In R A I N, the Primary Grading controls are designed to save you time: Master Curves and Color Curves are effortless to manipulate and traditional RGB corrections add Luminance control for faster look creation.
The same logic is reflected in the 12 layers of Secondary Grading, including luma key and chroma key along with unlimited numbers of shapes with advanced feathering settings. Every single parameter can be individually animated using key frames.
R A I N's Grade Library allows you to store unlimited color looks for your current project, and to access easily other project's grades. When recalling a grade, you can choose to apply all the corrections or only some of them, with selective copy/paste.
Different wipe styles can be used for frame by frame comparison.
Because R A I N has a multilayer timeline, titling compositing is easily performed with overlays.
Conforming is not a challenge anymore, with the support of compositions in XML (from Final Cut Pro), AAF and OMF formats.
Importing an EDL is done without difficulty thanks to renaming tools and list manipulation capabilities.
Digital camera's(RED, ARRI Alexa and D21, Canon 5D with EXIF metadata support, etc) RAW data can be graded natively at resolutions up to 2K or 4K using a RedRocket, with instantaneous playout on SDI or an on-the-fly conversion to another file format such as QuickTime, DPX, TIFF, etc.
Grading in native format gives the colorist the ability to come back at any time in the workflow on the color decisions, without wasting time in conversions.
With the first integration of Cintel's ImageMill 2 ORIGIN, GRACE and STEADY, the world's fastest data image restoration tools, in a color grading station, R A I N gains unparalleled, faster than Real Time, image defects removal capabilities, delivering pristine quality.
R A I N is able to grade stereoscopic files in Real Time the same way it handles any other type of file. Pan, Scan and Mirroring functionalities allow the management of camera rigs.
Primary and Secondary Grading, as well as animations are applied either on the Left, Right or both images, and can be easily compared (per eye, dissolved, etc), memorized and recalled.
R A I N combines left and right images into a stereoscopic stream played in Real Time for reviewing.
R A I N natively plays back in real time the stereoscopic files, with no import, whatever the source is and whether the viewing devices are 3D enabled or not.
R A I N interface displays in a clear way the left eye and the right eye clips, in different modes (anaglyph, side-by-side, interlaced or mesh).
The conforming process in 3D is transparent for the user, and is automatically performed from a single EDL referring to both eyes, or from 2 EDLs. You can face any offline editing situation.
The Pan, Scan and Mirroring functionalities allow a maximum of flexibility whatever the camera rig configuration was used. Grading can be applied either on the Left, Right or both eyes, and can be easily compared (per eye, dissolved, etc), memorized and recalled.
Automatic color balance allows the immediate correction of the difference of luminance in the cameras, and Convergence settings permit the management of the depth.
Use the usefull grading tool box available in R A I N to gain a lot of time with your stereoscopic files: use the StoryBoard mode to create up to 32 groups of clips for grading them as an ensemble, or easily animate the convergence and duplicate on the sequences of your choise using the GradeLibrary or the QuickStore.
R A I N outputs stereoscopic files in both dual link and single link modes: there is no need to buy extra expensive stereo processor, and delivery can be adjusted for Cinema projection or Home TV content very easily.
R A I N is able to render stereoscopic files side-by-side, allowing a quick review of the result in a QuickTime in YouTube, or in separated files.
SOFT R A I N is a software only solution featuring all R A I N powerful color correction functionalities. Supporting up to 4 RED Rockets and a choice of video boards, it can be installed on a certified system, adjusted to your facility workflow, allowing both budget and features scalability.
